TO ALL WHO. IT MAY CONCERN:

A Be it known that I, A. L. HILL, of Decatur, in the county offvMacon, and in the State of- Illinois have nventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Mode of Fastening Check-Hooks and '.lerrets; andfdo'hereby decla're'that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompany ing drawings, and the.letters'of referencetnarked thereon.

In-the annexed drawings, making a part of this specification; A represents the check-hook, and B B -the ferrets of an ordinary harness-saddle. Said'hook and terrets are secured to orihave cast on there loops, h h, as

shown in the drawings. These loops h h are made so as to just t over and embrace the back or saddle-strap' C. The loop of the check-hookA. is provided with a slot, ,t'hrough which the back-strap of the harness passes, and therebyv attached to the saddle. I Y i j V i 1 I It will be seen thatthe hook A audterrets B B are thus` readily and securely adjusted or'fastened in the place desired, and that the slot affords a convenient and desirable means of attaching the back strap of' the hai-nesstc the saddle thereof. v v .I i

Having thus fully desoribed'uly invention, what I claim as'new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, iS-if' Providing the terrets B B and cheek-hook A with loops h h, :island for the purpose specified.

In testimonythat I olaiin the foregoing, I have hereunto set my hand and'seal, thisllth day of March, 1868.
